Default Size of turn signal bullet connectors?

What size are the smaller turn signal bullet connectors on the KLX250S?

I'm aware I can cut and replace with standard bullet connectors, or splice the old small connector on the new turn signals. I prefer keeping this bike's wiring completely stock (apart from the actual signals).

Just not sure what size these "mini" bullet connectors are to know what to search for and order.

Not sure about previous years, but the 2009 and newer don't have bullet style connectors. It's a different style plug.

The 78-83 KLX250 models were off road only and thus not in the same category. Same goes for the updated KLX250R models released in the early 90s.

The 06-07 KLX250S are the first generation of the KLX250S dual sport series. Everyone knows and accepts this.

God dangit, I really just wanted to get the right sizing for the bullet connectors. Please do not take this thread over.

Checked few online sources http://www.cycleterminal.com/bullet-terminals.htmls it's either going to be 3.5mm or 3.9mm. Are you wanting male or female connector or both? You can usually find find assorted connectors at auto parts stores. I would buy packs of both sizes return the ones that don't fit.

I know you can get the OEM connectors from 12 Oclock Labs. Here are the stock KLX connectors.

Thanks, saw the adv reply before yours. Looks like both are valid choices. I picked up the sets from Eastern Beaver (10 each of male/female bullet connectors).

Yes, But I thought you wanted to use stock style connectors? Bullet connectors aren't on the KLX. It has the ones in the 12 0'Clock Labs link I posted. Have you looked at yours on the bike yet? Either way, replacing with bullet style isn't a big deal. I guess you'd like to stay with stock connections for resale? Unlikely anyone would notice the connectors either way. I prefer bullet style myself since thats what all the older bikes used.


"EDIT:" Nevermind, I keep forgetting you have a 2007 KLX. I guess they have bullet connectors. Yeah, I'm an idiot sometimes.....LOL Glad you found what your looking for....
